I am concerned that many of the far-right voters are basing their votes on their religious beliefs and not their political beliefs. Politics and religion are supposed to be separate.....allowing all who have religious belliefs to express them. Putting religion into politics is a form of racism........ ie: if you are not like me, you are wrong and need to be neutralized in some manner.

In that vein, the issue of abortion is part of the national division. Since we have no real proof of when the zygote becomes a fetus, can't we work to find an area of agreement? I understand it is a womens issue but the aborted babies are half female.

I guess what I am saying, is that I am willing to give up the effort to keep abortion legal in exchange for more accessable birth control, sex education and information on the effects of early sexual behaviors on the brain and the greater likelihood of sexual abuse.

Many countries who have kept abortion legal have seen the number of abortions drop once they added the above interventions.

We have such divisions in this country that Trump has used to his advantage,.......we need to search for areas of agreement with our cohort Americans, to give him LESS ammunition.
